This is Kay dictating for Slade...Slade is dictating to me, actually....he's had the computer all day and now I get on and read the threads and he has to answer....:)   I think the key is in Acts chapter 6: 11-14. These false witnesses testified that Stephen speaks against the holy place and Torah...Paul is holding the coats of the murderers.  Ask yourself again why Paul was going after them to kill them.   --slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 12 December, 2004 21.34 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Is Truth always rational?

The only thing I can think of is that he is one of the Pharisees who fears that "Gentile inclusion" means having a free-for-all Gentile rush on the Sanctuary when the do not understand the sheer holiness of the sanctuary.   -- slade This is not an explanation I would have come up with  --   I do see your point.   However,  I would not think Paul considered the Messianic Church to be an extention of Judaism, rather an apostasy -  a heresy.   More than concern for a population that would not understand the holiness of the sancturary  --  he considered the Christians to be not of God.  They were every bit an enemy as the Romans, if not more, because they could be considered a perversion of his Faith.
